'Inside My Box' photographic artwork by Rossano B Maniscalchi available at Screaming Abdabs Gallery
'Inside My Box' is a surreal photographic image set deep in a lush green coniferous forest. An apparition of a woman, of statuesque beauty, stands tall in the sanctuary of an impenetrable transparent tank, pierced only by a ray of sunlight that beams down between the trees to illuminate the alluring features of her profile. As she closes her eyes to absorb the rays of sunlight, she remains unobservant of the scene on the other side of her impervious glass encasement. The viewer can only surmise how this transparent box came to be placed into the depths of the forest, among carnivorous creatures that would not ordinarily be found in the same part of the world. Predacious wolves gather menacingly around the base of the tank. A pernicious python silently slithers down from above. The immediate assumption that this slippery serpent may pose a threat to the woman would be a misconception, not only for the fact that she stands within the safety of her âboxâ. Moreover, the snake is indeed sizing up the wolves and by definition would be most unlikely to attack a human, especially in the form of an apparition. Each wolf seems engrossed in its own agenda and all of them remain oblivious to their silent stalker. Again, Rossano B Maniscalchi has set a scenario upon which the viewer is left with a dilemma. If the python were to deduce which wolf might show the greatest sign of vulnerability and make a bid for its next meal, it risks the snarling onslaught of the remaining pack, who may savage the snake while it attempts to consume its prey. The box may simply vanish from whence it came, or the woman may open her eyes to realise her fate and the dangers that surround her box. This is the stuff of dreams, or perhaps a nightmare. âInside My Boxâ is a limited edition surreal contemporary photograph created by the highly acclaimed Italian photographer Rossano B Maniscalchi. It is a surreal photographic composition offered in 10 limited editions which are for sale exclusively at www.screamingabdabs.gallery.
